I too am trying to find the same family member's. David is my gg grandfather. I have discovered that most records from family tree's list David as being born in 1800 in Buncombe county. I have in my records a 1812 war pension with Nancy being his wife. I don't think David was born in 1800 cause he would have been 12 years old. Nancy Catherine was born in 1798. I'm thinking David was probably born in the late 1700's also. If you have any new information please let me know. I found some NC records with Mary Ann Morton but she would have been way to young to be David's sister.

Hi,<br>You won't find his birth record because North Carolina didn't record births until 1913.<br><br>You might find his birth in the newspaper. I'd contact the Henderson County Genealogical &amp; Historical Society, <a href="http://www.hcghs.com/index_files/Page460.htm" target="_blank">www.hcghs.com/index_files/Page460.htm</a> and ask if they have old newspapers. <br><br>I wonder if Fred wasn't from Mattie's husband's first marriage and that's why he shows up in the 1910 Census as adopted son. <br><br>I'd contact the Henderson County Clerk of Court and ask if adoption records 1898-1910 are old enough to be public records. Also ask about guardianship records. <br><br>Fredrick F. Foster<br>Born: Sept 9, 1898<br>Died: June 2, 1932<br>Buried: Valley Grove Baptist Church Cemetery, Knox Co.

Trying to determine parents for Frederick Franklin Foster b. 1898 NC and d. 1932 Knoxville, TN. He is my great grandfather. In the 1910 Henderson Co, Edneyville NC Census he is listed as the "adopted son" of Hattie Foster, with his brothers Chester and Denver listed simply as "sons". Hattie is listed as "married" and "head of household", no husband listed.I'm no sure if Hattie is the mother and if she was, why would he be listed as the adopted son. Trying to determine his parents so I can trace the line and would love to learn circumstances of the adoption. He went on to die young and my grandfather (also named Fred Franklin Foster) was placed in an orphanage at age 1. So I have no family knowledge passed down. Hattie goes on to marry Earle Wright later, by the 1920 Census of same town.

Hi, <br>I have been doing some research on William Henry Mills, (1727-1807), I have been trying to find my GGGrandfather and having quite a difficult time. However, from the DNA results I have been reviewing it is along the Gilbert Mills/Margaret Ashmore connection. Most point to Lavender or John Mills, but some lines come from William Henry Mills. I cannot find much information on him, if you had some you would like to share, I would greatly appreciate it. My particular line - starts with my grandfather, James E. Mills and his father James Volenay Mills (1877-1923) that's where my dead-end starts. Trying to find his father.

I am looking for PROOF of death for William b. 1782 SC and Sarah McCarson (b. @1784 NC) Byers. William was the son of Samuel and Margaret Carson Byers. After the 1840 census they are not as far as I know found on any census. He is NOT the William found in Tennessee , this William is a first cousin. The William found in Tennessee was married to Keziah and Susanna. There is a date of 1851 Buncombe, Co., NC for William on many family trees, have yet to have anyone show PROOF of that date. My mother was about the PROOF, if she didn't have the PROOF there was always a question mark by the name or date until she had the PROOF. <br><br>If you have any stories for the proof of death and date for William and Sarah McCarson Byers would really like to know.

I am working with the trustees of the National Skydiving Museum in an effort to build a place to honor the history of skydiving. In 2010, Tiny Broadwick was honored in the first class of inductees to the Hall of Fame and was the first woman inducted. I am now putting in Charles Broadwick's name as a nominee for the Hall of Fame. I don't know if he will be selected but if he is I would like to find some relatives of both Tiny and Charles. Please email me and I will give you more info.2013-12-18 02:06:19Zlmiller0150/localities.northam.usa.states.northcarolina.counties.henderson/1020.2/mb.ashxLamb/Ledbetter families- Looking for a connection to the Woodward family/localities.northam.usa.states.northcarolina.counties.henderson/2321/mb.ashx

Hi, I am related to Thomas Irving Goodwin, his second wife was Frances Hires Goodwin, her daughter was Louise Hires Dadswell. I have found a Will with a funeral expense sheet saying Mrs Frances H. Goodwin bought a grave from Mrs WW Wright, and it is located in the Lees Summit Cemetery in Lees Summit Missouri when I started asking the sexton there about where Thomas I Goodwins grave was they say he is not buried there. I know from info that Frances moved to St. Petersburg,Florida to be near her daughter Louise Dadswell. They may have been in Hendersonville, N. C. at one time or still. Do you know if anyone in the Dadswell family might have the copy of that original deed for that grave Frances purchased to prove to them they have made an error? They have a Thomas Ervin Wright by Elizabeth Goodwin Wright, this is Thomas Goodwins daughter from his first marriage, I am certain it is instead Thomas Irving/Ervin Goodwin but they say not with out proof with a deed? thanks Mary Smith2013-11-27 23:46:06ZJD4ever/localities.northam.usa.states.northcarolina.counties.henderson/2320/mb.ashxEmsley Lamb family from Henderson Co.

Recent investigations suggest Dr. William Rickman was only married once, and to Elizabeth Harrison, daughter of Singer Benjamin Harrison, of Berkeley Plantation. The following is a study drafted by Patrick O'Neill, historian of Kittiewan Plantation. The study addresses the suggestion that the Jesse Rickman family from North Carolina are descendants of Dr. Rickman.<br><br><br>DR. WILLIAM RICKMAN AND KITTIEWAN PLANTATION<br><br>There were several landowners of the property on which Kittiewan Plantation now rests. No information has been found on the owners of the land containing Kittiewan Plantation between 1728 and the 1770s. Charles Roane or subsequent owners divided his 1667 patents into at least four parcels. Dr. William Rickman, famous during the American Revolution as the head surgeon of the Continental Army in Virginia, bought several tracts in the 1770s in and around the current Kittiewan Plantation footprint, calling it Milford. Rickman purchased one tract from Thomas Brown before 1780, which is now bounded on the south and east by Highway 619, on the west by Drinking Run and on the north by a run of Drinking Run, containing approximately 240 acres.<br><br>Date Grantor Grantee Book Acres Notes<br>1770s-1780s Thomas Brown William Rickman Deed books 1-3 missing unknown mentioned in Elizabeth Edmondson's will in 1790; thought to be around 200 acres by later deeds<br>5/3/1790 Elizabeth Harrison Rickman Edmondson Will Carter Bassett Harrison Will Book 1:38-39 280 house and land she now lives (probably Milford) containing about 280 acres<br>5/3/1790 Elizabeth Harrison Rickman Edmondson Will William Henry Harrison Will Book 1:38-39 unknown land Doctor Rickman bought from Thomas Brown<br>1/20/1791 John Edmondson and Elizabeth (formerly Mrs. William Rickman) Carter Bassett Harrison Deed Book 4:34-36 800 Milford was purchased by Doctor Rickman in several transactions<br>2/20/1793 William Henry Harrison Carter Bassett Harrison Deed Book 4:143-144 unknown Brown's Quarter; mentions bought by William Rickman from Thomas Brown, but this should have been labeled only Browns land, as Brown's Quarter is now known as Sherwood Forest<br><br>The name "Kittiewan" was not applied to the current property until the very early 19th century. Dr. Rickman referred to his home estate as "Milford" in the early 1780s, the first documented name for the tract. In a 1779 will, Rickman's neighbor to the west, David Minge, mentions several tracts Minge owned including one named "Kittiwan". The Minge Kittiewan tract was actually the southern part of the current North Bend Plantation adjacent to the west side of Kittiewan Plantation. Minge's Kittiwan tract is mentioned as such for the last time in the 1783 tax roll, but the acreage can be traced through the records until 1819. After the Widow Minge married Collier Harrison, her lands were simply listed as "Minges" as late as 1801, and then listed as “Collier Harrison’s” for many years after her death until the land passed to her son John Minge prior to 1820.<br><br>The historic manor house at Kittiewan Plantation was probably built during Dr. Rickman’s tenure of the property. Whether there was a pre-existing structure on “Milford” before the current manor house is not yet known. A brick foundation (44CC0377) was found about 1000 feet north of the house in the field suggesting another house or possible barn structure, but no datable artifacts were found during a 2002 ASV survey; more field work is planned to identify the purpose of the foundation. <br><br>The original portion of the manor consisted of a two story wood frame structure with a central passage between a main room and a second-best room. Two ells or wings also original to the house, extended from both rooms on the north side away from Kittiewan Creek.<br><br>Georgian-era raised pine paneling on the first floor may have been original or a remodeling phase prior to 1800. Although some of the plank flooring on the first floor has been replaced around the fireplaces in both rooms, the remainder in the oldest portion of the house is probably original and over 220 years old. The parlor room is the show piece of the manor house. The paneled walls extend to the ceiling with beautiful archways and pillars on either side of the fireplace. The most amazing aspect of the parlor is the walls were last painted prior to the Civil War! <br><br>Elizabeth Harrison Rickman was born and raised at the lavish brick Berkeley Plantation. Mrs. Harrison may have had the paneling installed to raise the ambience of the small wood frame plantation house at Milford in an attempt to entertain family and guests accustomed to her more luxurious surroundings. The formal approach of plantation houses built along a water source was usually facing the water, however, Kittiewan Creek below the manor house is not navigable, and the historic landing is thought to be about ½ mile to the southeast where the current landing is located on Kittiewan Creek. It is not yet known if the formal entrance into the manor house was through the north or south entrance. <br><br>Only the west two-thirds of the area under the main portion of the manor was excavated to form the original basement or cellar area, with a bench platform left to support the west fireplace of the second-best room. The foundation of hand made bricks is 25 courses in height in the deepest portion of the basement. The basement floor is thought to have always been a dirt floor until a dry laid modern brick floor was installed in 1983.<br><br>When Dr. Rickman died in 1783, his widow Elizabeth inherited his property, including Milford. The 1787 tax records show Elizabeth Rickman charged with two tracts of land, 223 acres and 365 acres, with no name directly associated with the land. Elizabeth Rickman subsequently married John Edmondson around 1789. Her will, drafted in May 1790, specified all of her land was to go to her husband John Edmondson; upon his death, the Thomas Brown tract was to go to her brother William Henry Harrison, while the 280-acre home place would go to Carter Bassett Harrison, another brother.<br><br>Even though he was to receive the Rickman home place though her will in 1790, Elizabeth and John Edmondson sold the Milford tract and other lands to total 8oo acres to her brother Carter Bassett Harrison in 1791. The 800 acres did not include the Thomas Brown tract, which passed to William Henry Harrison. Two years later, William Henry Harrison signed a quitclaim deed ceding all claims to "Brown's Quarter" to his brother Carter Bassett Harrison for £25 Virginia money; this is the only instance in the deed books where the word "Quarter" appears with this particular tract. The quitclaim record also confirmed it as the tract Rickman bought from Brown and the land that was bequeathed to W.H. Harrison by his sister. The erroneous use of “Brown’s ‘Quarter’” in relation to the Milford and Kittiewan Brown tract has led to speculation that William Henry Harrison once owned historic Sherwood Forest, the home of President James Tyler, having it the only home owned by two U.S. Presidents, which is not correct.<br><br>Elizabeth Harrison petitioned to receive bounty land due her late husband Dr. Rickman from his service during the American Revolution. She was given land certificates totaling 6,666 acres in Ohio. She later gave these certificates to her siblings as she had no heir. After her death, her second husband John Edmondson, who was given the right to live at Milford for life, left Milford and married again; from this marriage he had a few children. From the 1840s to 1870s, the children of this last marriage sued the Harrison family for the land in Ohio, but ultimately lost.<br><br>Carter Bassett Harrison continued to expand his holdings in Charles City County, even though he lived across the James River in Prince George County, and may never have actually resided at Kittiewan Plantation. In 1794, he bought a 120-acre parcel from Thomas Backhurst and wife, located east of the main entrance road to Kittiewan Plantation. Carter B. Harrison, however, was not listed in Charles County tax records until 1795 and he was assessed for only 170 acres in that year. This supports the assumption he mainly resided in Prince George County, Virginia.<br><br>In 1801, Carter B. Harrison sold to his nephew Collier Harrison, son of his brother Robert, 900 acres of land containing four tracts; these tracts were identified as Milford or Kittiewan, Browns, Backhursts, and Lloyds. The fact the first tract is listed as “Milford or Kittiewan” suggests a historic transition of the name usage of Kittiewan at the same time the Minge property to the west was consolidating and may have begun to use the name of North Bend. In fact, the deed from Carter to Collier Harrison stated the Minge tract Kittiewan was west of Milford or Kittiewan, using the same name in the same document to describe the two separate tracts. The Backhurst and Lloyd tracts were to the east of the plantation house and Browns was to the north.<br><br>DR. WILLIAM RICKMAN AND SMALLPOX INOCULATION<br><br>Dr. William Rickman was the first Director of Hospitals of the Southern Department of the Continental Army in 177X. One of his first tasks was to inoculate the troops from the South as they marched north to the theater of war. Dr. Rickman set up shop in Alexandria, Virginia. George Washington wanted to have a healthy army to meet the British soldiers who had already been exposed to the disease.<br><br>In a dilapidated house in Alexandria, Virginia, three men lay shivering on pallets of straw. Two wore some tattered old clothes to ward off the late autumn chill, the third had only an old shirt and half an old blankitt. They were weak. They were shivering. They had smallpox as well.<br><br>The men were members of the Continental Army’s Ninth North Carolina Regiment, newly assembled over the previous summer. Much had changed since young John Patton had so enthusiastically joined the service in 1775 and gone to his death in 1776. Gone was the hopeful anticipation that the conflict with Britain would be cut short. Gone too was the idealism of the early days of the war. The rage militaire had subsided, and the short-term citizen-soldier had become obsolete.<br><br>After 1776, the Continental Army was a poor man’s military force, populated by landless and jobless men recruited not for brief tours of duty, but for a year, three years, or the duration. Many were hired as substitutes, paid by rich men to fight in their stead. These were professional soldiers who served to fulfill a contract. They would supply the government with labor, and the government would supply them with food, clothing, and wages, sometimes accompanied by a cash bounty or promise of land. In this regard, the members of the Ninth North Carolina Regiment were typical, for they took their contracts seriously. In August 1777, they had refused to march to Virginia until they received the wages the army owed them.<br><br>The labor action brought results. Money in hand, the men of the Ninth Regiment set out for Virginia on September 1, 1778. They halted at Alexandria several weeks later. Here, by the time they arrived, Dr. William Rickman had put hundreds of southern recruits through inoculation, immunizing them to smallpox before they went on to join General Washington and the main army. The once-banned procedure was now required under official military policy. As autumn took hold in Alexandria, susceptible members of the Ninth North Carolina and Fifteenth Virginia regiments rolled up their sleeves and bared their arms for Dr. Rickman and his staff.<br><br>The inoculations did not go well. The soldiers complained that after giving them the smallpox, Rickman abandoned them, forcing them to go through the disease without medical support. The men of the Fifteenth Virginia Regiment claimed they had very little care and attention paid to them while under inoculation, and one of their officers said he never saw Dr. Rickman in the barracks where his men were sick. The North Carolinians protested as well. Colonel John Williams charged Rickman with great neglect and mismanagement, saying he had left the care of the soldiers to his assistants, all of whom were negligent and cruel.<br><br>Languishing in their quarters throughout the town, the pox-ridden soldiers did their best to look out for one another. When the three men in the cold, run-down house were discovered, Colonel Williams was called to the scene. He was horrified by what he saw. Dr. Rickman, characteristically, could not be found, so Williams sent for one of the doctor’s subordinates, Mr. Parker, to help his men. Parker refused to attend until he was brought by force. There are tow different accounts of Parker’s response when he finally confronted the three abandoned soldiers. According to one, he denied any knowledge that the men were in so bad a situation. According to the other, he admitted knowing of their condition but said he had provided no assistance since there had been no official report.<br><br>For the men who lay on the floor, help had come too late. Two died the night they were discovered, and the third died a few days later. Their names were not recorded. <br><br> <br>DR. WILLIAM RICKMAN AND THE JESSE RICKMAN CONNECTION<br><br>The descendants of Jesse Rickman of Henderson County, North Carolina, believe the following relationship between Jesse and Dr. William Rickman.<br><br>Robert Rickman and Tamar Reynolds were the parents of Dr. William Rickman of Kittiewan. Dr. Rickman was married to Sarah van Meter and had several children, she dying around 1775. They had Peter, John, Tamar, and Jesse Rickman. Mrs. Rickman died in 1772-1773, and Rickman married Elizabeth Harrison. Jesse and Elizabeth did not get along, and after Dr. Riockman died in 1781, Jesse ran away and fought in the American Revolution, and settled in Henderson County, North Carolina.<br><br>In 1926, published records showed Sarah Van Meter with the same parents, but suggested she was married to a William Rickman by 1754. A detailed history of the Isaac Van Meter family stated Sarah Van Meter, daughter of Isaac Van Meter and Annetje (Hannah) Wynkoop, married John Richman (Rickman) on January 27, 1741, not William Rickman. Isaac Van Meter owned land in Hampshire and Spotsylvania Counties (Fredericksburg area), Virginia, but lived in Hampshire County, now located in the eastern neck of West Virginia.<br><br> <br>Van Meter history <br><br>Tamar Rickman, possibly a daughter of William and Sarah Rickman, married John Washington, son of John and Eliza Washington, a distant, if any, relation to George Washington. Tamar’s husband John Washington was born around 1703, according to his father’s will.<br><br>In 1937, Rev. William P. Rickman, from Richmond, posted a genealogy query in the William and Mary Quarterly. He was trying to clarify the relationship between Dr. William Rickman and Jesse Rickman, as well as Tamah (Tamar) Rickman.<br><br> <br>Rickman Notice <br><br>In 1941 and 1942, William R. Rickman, from XXXX, contacted Loren Clark, owner of Kittiewan, and ultimately placed a marble marker for Dr. William Rickman at the cemetery on the hill about 1/4 - 3/8 miles north of the house. It is not yet known the relationship of Rev. William P. and William R. Rickman.<br><br>By 1963, Mrs. Lottie R. Rickman (Claude) Randleman of Oregon, a great-great-great-grand-daughter of Jesse Rickman, submitted family history sheets on the Jesse Rickman family to the Seattle Genealogical Society, which seem to have been the documents most of the family quoted thereafter. Mrs. Randleman indicates Jesse was indeed the son of Dr. William Rickman and wife Sarah Van Meter. On the page she connects Jesse Rickman as the son of Dr. William Rickman, she lists as sources only the Jesse Rickman bible records and census records. She submitted copies of the bible pages to the Virginia State Historical Society. There is no mention of towns and locations for any of the births of the Rickman family on the bible record pages.<br><br> <br>Page 1, Jesse Rickman family bible, from Virginia State Historical Society<br> <br>Page 2, Jesse Rickman family bible from the Virginia State Historical Society<br><br>Sometime between 1937 and 1963, the Jesse Rickman family definitely linked Jesse Rickman as the son of Dr. William. Mrs. Randleman submitted a text on the Rickman family to the Seattle Genealogical Society, where she mentioned not having a copy of Dr. Rickman’s Will, shown below. Rickman’s Will mentioned no heirs, only his wife Elizabeth Harrison Rickman and her heirs, her father and brother, who were co-executors of Rickman’s estate.<br><br> <br>Dr. William Rickman’s Will from 1781<br><br>Randleman’s family history also mentioned the Bounty Land Application for Dr. William Rickman submitted by Elizabeth Rickman after his death, so she could claim his rightful bounty lands for service during the American Revolution. The application stated “your petitioner feeling herself and children much aggrieved”, but the “and children” are crossed out on the original, suggesting she (or her and Dr. Rickman) had no children.<br><br> <br>Portion of 1783 Rickman bounty application with “and children” marked out<br><br>It is thought that these two claims of Rickman having children gave rise to the suggestion that Rickman was married twice. However, after exhaustive research at Williamsburg and Richmond, no records have come to light indicating Dr. Rickman was married prior to his marriage to Elizabeth Harrison in 1774. As such, there are no records showing any children associated with Dr. Rickman. It is hopeful members of the Jesse Rickman family will be able to produce the proof they suggest links the two men to confirm this relationship.<br><br>What has been verified is that Dr. Rickman was indeed married to Miss Elizabeth Harrison in 1774, daughter of Benjamin Harrison the Signer of the Declaration of Independence and owner of Berkeley Plantation. She was also the older sister of William Henry Harrison, the ninth President of the United States. Dr. and Elizabeth Harrison Rickman had no children. <br>DR. WILLIAM RICKMAN AND HIS OHIO BOUNTY LAND<br><br>Dr. William Rickman, of Milford (Kittiewan Plantation), was given bounty land in Ohio posthumously through his widow Elizabeth Harrison Rickman, who later married John Edmondson. Her petition reads as follows:<br><br>To the Honorable, the Speakers and Members of the Assembly, The petition of Elizabeth Rickman, widow and executrix of Dr. Wm. Rickman, late of Charles City Co., deceased, humbly herewith, that the said deceased Dr. Wm. Rickman was appointed Director and Chief Physician of the Continental Hospitals in Virginia by a commission bearing date 18th of May 1776, and acted in that capacity until the 21st of October 1780, when his resignation was accepted. In consequence of that appointment and service, he became entitled to demand from the Auditors warrants for depreciation of his pay, and a certain quantity of land, which he accordingly applied for, by the Auditors, not considering that his application was authorized by the strict letter of Act of Assembly refused to give such warrant, whereby he was prevented from recovering equal enrollments with other officers of the same rank.<br><br>Your petitioner feeling herself and children much aggrieved by that use of pay that the said Dr. Wm. Rickman in his lifetime sustained and flattered by the hope that some rewards which were by your Honorable House at a former session conferred on several persons in like circumstances, and among those to a certain Anthony Dixon, assistant surgeon to the said William Rickman, will not be withheld from his family. Your Petitioner humbly prays that your Honorable House take the promises into consideration would be graciously pleased to order and direct that the Auditor of public accounts may grant to your petitioner the proper warrants or certificates for recovering to the family of the said deceased William Rickman such quantity of lands and depreciation of pay as shall be thought to be adequate to his late Rank and Service, and your petitioner as in duty bound, Shall; ever Pray.<br><br>A total of 6666 2/3 acres were allowed for his service in the Continental Army and issued under Land Warrant 2245. Mrs. Rickman married John Edmondson, and in her 1790 will, she gives her husband the right to disperse the certificates that her brother Benjamin Harrison had in his possession as he, John Edmondson, thought best. Elizabeth died in 1791, and John died on December 1, 1802 in Augusta County, Virginia.<br><br>Seven certificates of survey were issued under William Rickman’s Land Warrant. Five of the seven were surveyed between October 24, 1801 and may 31, 1802, when John Edmondson was still alive, but were not actually issued until several years after Edmondson’s death. These five patents show Lucy Singleton, David Coupland, Ann Coupland, Sally Minge, Benjamin Harrison, Jr., William Harrison and Carter Harrison as the legal representatives of Elizabeth Rickman, widow and devised of the said William Rickman deceased. Edmondson is not mentioned.<br><br>The remaining two patents for the William Rickman bounty land warrant were not surveyed until March 1807. These two patents show the Harrison family granting the patents to Henry Massie. Elizabeth Massie, Nathaniel Massie, Richard Kidder Massie, Nancy Massie &amp; Henry Massie were children of Nathaniel Massie, one of the main surveyors of the Virginia Bounty Lands.<br><br>At least 4466 acres of William Rickman’s 6666 2/3 acres were surveyed in Union County, Ohio, towards the northern end of the Virginia Military District, which had been set aside for Virginia bounty claims for the American Revolution. The remaining 1200 acres was patented by Henry Massie, but the location of those tracts has not yet been determined.<br>2013-11-02 15:31:46ZVierthaler/localities.northam.usa.states.northcarolina.counties.henderson/38.46.1/mb.ashxRe: JOHNSON/localities.northam.usa.states.northcarolina.counties.henderson/614.618.608.617.621.622.1/mb.ashx

Peter was the descendant of Isaie Boudreau the same line that we do. We hope that se can share genealogy information.<br><br>In our local paper yesterday there was an obituary for a Peter J. Boudreau. He was the son of<br>John Boudreau and was born in Escanaba, Michigan. Peter was a professor at Adrian College. Well, I traced John Boudreau<br>and yes!!! he is related to our Boudreau family. His line comes from a brother of Michel Boudreau.....Charles. Charles was the son<br>of Isaie Boudreau. Small world. If I had known he lived in Adrian, I would have contacted him. Too late now, sad to say. He has no family living around here but he is survived by two brothers and a sister. One lives in North Carolina and the other two live in Plymouth, Michigan and Gladstone, Michigan.<br><br>I guess that should teach us to look in the local phone book for people with names that match ours. If I had looked, I would have found him years ago. He's been at the college for 19 years!!<br>2013-09-10 15:21:33ZMaryBoudreau51/localities.northam.usa.states.northcarolina.counties.henderson/2317/mb.ashxRe: Mud Creek Church Minutes/localities.northam.usa.states.northcarolina.counties.henderson/126.127.129.133.1/mb.ashx
Betty, I am looking for information on Archibald Nelson b circa 1785 was married to Martha and were neighbors to James R(b1814) and Sarah Shepherd(b1816) in Hendersonville, North Carolina in 1840. I believe that Sarah may be his daughter. In 1850 Archie was in Gilmer Co, GA and James and Sarah were in Cherokee Co, GA <br> She could also be related to the Samuel Evans and Joseph Evans family. They were neighbors also in 1840 and a Nancy Jane Evans shows up in the family in 1850 and lived with them as an adopted daughter until she married in the 1870's.<br> This may all be before the minutes began. Would appreciate any info you can find.

Three young men from "Henderson guards" Co.!, 6th NC died of disease on Valley Mountain during Lee's failed Cheat Mountain campaign. <br><br>They are: Samuel L. ALLEN, William COCKRAM, Mitchell K. JUSTICE, and John L. SMITH, <br><br>They will be honored on July 27th at the centennial rededication of the Confederate Soldier Monument on Mingo Flats, WV.<br><br>Here are the details from the Inter-mountain by Lauren Ragland<br>Cannon blasts will vibrate and shake the air. Artillery fire will echo again throughout the mountains of southern Randolph County at the centennial rededication of the Confederate Soldier Monument in Mingo Flats. <br>A rare opportunity to repeat history will be offered at 1 p.m. on Saturday July 27. <br>Event organizer Rodger Ware promises that the event will \"truly be a spectacle, with muskets, cannons, bagpipes, bugles, a Civil War Color guard - it will be an awesome experience.<br>" One hundred years ago, on July 23, 1913, over 1,000 people watched the ceremonial unveiling of the statue. It was an all-day celebration planned by members of Camp Pegram No. 1602, U.C.V., Confederate Veterans. The effort to construct and erect the monument was led by Valley Head Commander Capt. George Washington Painter, the great-great-grandfather of the 2013 centennial rededication organizer Rodger Ware. The monument reads, "To the memory of the Confederate soldiers of Randolph County and vicinity. This includes all soldiers who died on Valley Mountain in 1861, while Gen. Lee was encamped there."<br>For the 1913 dedication, the soldier was dramatically hidden from the audience, draped in red, white and blue bunting. The monument was slowly unveiled by eight local children, all dressed in white. Throughout the afternoon, the Beverly Band performed and many elderly veterans shared their memories of the Civil War. Capt. G. W. Painter ended the program with an eloquent, emotional speech sharing his experiences as a Civil War soldier. <br>In 1913, the Randolph Enterprise referred to him as \"the moving spirit in erecting this monument.\" History has indeed repeated itself. A century later, his great-great-grandson Rodger Ware of Parsons - former commander of the West Virginia Sons of Confederate Veterans and president of the Corrick\'s Ford Battlefield Foundation - is the moving spirit for the centennial rededication. Ware will stand in Painter\'s footsteps and plans to deliver another passionate speech. The featured speaker will be renowned Civil War historian W. Hunter Lesser, author of \"Rebels at the Gate: Lee and McClellan on the front line of a nation divided\" and \"The First Campaign: A Guide to Civil War in the Mountains of West Virginia.\" The public is invited to attend this free event that will bring history alive. The July 27 program, as in 1913, offers an opportunity for all participants to share their personal family stories from the Civil War. Come join this rare opportunity to make history come alive. <br>Mingo is located 5 miles south of Valley Head and 3 miles north of the Randolph-Pocahontas County line.
